Rock wallaby remains were found in the cat’s diet (Doherty et al. 2015).
Rock-wallaby remains were not found in the cat’s diet (Lapidge & Henshall 2001). Stobo-Wilson et al. (2020b) reported that rock-wallabies were detected at 2 sites but not at the other 2 sites, and that cats were detected at all 4, but no statistical analysis was provided.
There are no studies evidencing a negative association between cats
and yellow-footed rock-wallaby populations.
